Pinteresting Things - Snickers Salad

If a Snickers Salad sounds like an oxymoron to you, you are sooo right.  In fact the label "salad" on this dish is a complete misnomer except for the fact that when you look at it, you totally think it's potato salad.  So be careful.

I came across this recipe on Pinterest, and flashed back to a family get-together a few years ago.  This was a dish that my Great-Aunt Gloria had made for us while she was visiting from Milwaukee!  Now, I'm not a fan of Snickers, mostly because I'm not a fan of nuts in my chocolate in general.  But I didn't have a problem eating them ensconced in Cool Whip, cream cheese, and powdered sugar.  Don't worry, though, because it has apples, so it's healthy.

It's definitely best to make this for a crowd so that you can try it but you don't have to eat the whole thing.  Not that I would do that.  I made it for our Independence Day get-together as an impromptu side dish.  I can't believe that was almost a month ago and the kids will be back in school in three weeks.  Did somebody cancel summer this year?  I think I missed it.  But I digress.

The final analysis is this:  I have no helpful tips for you whatsoever because this was so easy to make, even I couldn't mess it up.  Although I almost forgot to thaw the Cool Whip.  Actually I did forget to thaw one container so I used slightly less Cool Whip than the recipe called for.  I know - it's a travesty.  

Okay, Pinterest has taken care of my sweet tooth for the time being.  Next time, I'll have to find something healthy to make.  Or maybe a craft or useful household tip to implement that doesn't involve food.  What?  Something worthwhile that doesn't involve food?  Heresy.
